Barnabus Pike is no gunfighter and not much of a street
fighter. Eddie Holt is a black boxer in a white man's world.
They've both taken their share of hard knocks. Now they're
looking to survive a brutal winter in a remote Montana line
shack, collect their pay, and settle down for good. Then they
cross paths with a hardworking Irish immigrant and his
beautiful, spirited sister, who've been burned off their
land. It's a fight Pike and Holt don't want, don't need, and
don't dare turn their backs on--especially when one of the
perpetrators might be one of Pike's old friends. Hunted like
animals across the frozen countryside, Pike and Holt will
risk everything--including their reputations, their dreams --
and their lives.
